WW Meeting update

I treked to the local WW meeting last night. I am down 1 pound from November...haven't been since before we moved. Ate anything I wanted over the holiday and didn't count anything, so I am happy I didn't gain anything.

I feel like I will never get there

Okay, so I weighed in last night and after having a successful week last week at weigh in, I knew it would be bad....I made the Great Harvest Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread on Sunday and ate WAY too much of it. Why do I do these things....I have a problem....and I gained 3 pounds . . also my time, so that usually makes me weigh more too...but, that shouldn't be an excuse. What is my problem, why can't I get my rear in gear and just loose the now 13 pounds I need to loose to get back to where I was in May?

I was up at 4:45 with Justin this morning and Todd was home from running at 5:30...I thought to myself that I should go work out, but I didn't do it...why? I have no answers....no enthusiasm...nothing, noda....

Any words of wisdom out there?

gain. . .

Well, for my first week at truely being back and couting, I gained...I was so good, but I continue counting my points and makeing WW meals.....tonight we are having sloppy joes (homemade) from a WW book...

Get in the groove!

Hi all,

does anyone read this anymore?

Well, I am back on track Day4. I was back at my Pre-Preggo weight in May and then we lost Mom and I went through times and gave up on my progress...

But now, I am no longer nursing Justin so I feel so much more free, like I can go out and workout..have more time for me. So, Todd and I have worked out a plan. He works out first (5am) and I work out at 6:00 am...for a 1/2 hour MWF. On T TH I walk with a girlfriend and I might do a tape here at the house or take Justin for a walk.

We went to a super Wally world this last weekend and stocked up on low pt goodies for me. Weight Watcher items...and I am kick starting my week with some frozen meals....they are spendy, but easy to get me back on track I hope.

I also work for WW, and we had a staff meeting yesterday. I was inspired by my peers. I will try to keep this up to date weekly. I joined a competition also with the Staff. For every pound I loose till the end of October, my boss will donate $1 to a charity. (This is also going on at your local WW but on a national level). WW will donate up to 1 million dollars to a hungry food project.

2.2 gone

I weighed in last night and lost another 2.2 pounds...yahoo. I had a few weeks of staying the same, so I took 2 points away (I was close to the next 25 pound mark) and it worked....now I am in the next level down...

Prego Goal Acheived

Well, last week I finally hit my pre-pregnancy weight - Finally!

So, now I am working out 3 days a week at home and trying to get an hour walk in M-F with my friend here in town. Since Wednesday night I have stayed on plan and journaled every day faithfully. I am really hoping to see results again. Another 10 or 15 pound loss would be great!

30 pounds

I worked last night at WW and it was great. Justin came with me for the first 40 or so minutes and really took to some of the ladies there, so I had built in baby-sitters...Then the leader took him while more people showed up and then Todd came and got him. It was a great time....and I lost another 2.2 on top of it all.

My new total is 30.8.....only 2.4 pounds to go to get to pre-prego....

good luck to you all this week!

another loss

I weighed in today at WW and I have lost another 1.2 pounds since my last weigh in (Feb. 13th). Being gone at Mom & Dad's and then not being good here when I got home, I was sure I had gained, so I was glad for the loss.

I am at a total of 28.4. I have 4.6 pounds till I hit my pre-prego weight...

28 pounds to date

I haven't weighed in for 2 weeks - since we were sick here. I lost another 2.8 pounds, bringing my total to 28.0. I have 5 more to go to get to my pre-prego weight and I would love to loose another 15 to 25 before we try for baby #2.

I guess being ill for a while helps with the weight loss, now I just need to keep my journal (my struggle with WW).

at least it was a loss

So, I decided to go ahead and go weigh in...I lost .1 - - better than nothin'. I am back "on" today. I haven't been drinking my water, so I need to get working on that. I am much better if there is flavored water to drink...maybe I will make some of that up.

To weigh or not to weigh

Well, today is weigh in day. It is early morning and I am just not looking forward to a weigh in day. Probably because I think it has been 3 weeks since I weighed last. I did weigh in right before Christmas and had lost .3 pounds. I weighed at home last week and looked like I had remained the same, but have fallen off with counting points daily, so I know I need to go and get my head back in the game.

More tonight or tomorrow.

Trying to Post again

Ok, so I have not posted since I tried WW many months ago and then fell off the band wagon. In October of 2007 I decided I would try again and this time I would not get discouraged and NOT give up. I have made pretty steady progress over the last 10 weeks. I am down 20 lbs and only 6 more to go to my goal weight with WW. I plan to get about 10 lbs under my WW goal. Keep up the good work for those of you reading this and trying to lose.

25 Pounds

I didn't want to go again to weigh in - what is up with that? Seems like every week I feel lousy about weighing in on the scale. I decided to weigh myself at home around 2pm....the number looked good. Last week I did that and it was off about 2 pounds. Anyway, I lost 1.1, total now of 25.5...I got my 25 lb star!!!!

I have been cooking up a storm of fun WW recipes this week. Last night I made Tandori Pork (not great)...and WW Mashed Potato's...again not a ton of flavor....

will post again in 2 weeks!

A small success

Well, here we are the week after Thanksgiving....we have all been sick this week..even me...and, I haven't weighed in for 3 weeks...one week I was visiting Mom & Dad, the next week, dinner was in the oven and Todd had to work late, and last week, we left for Thanksgiving...needless to say - I was expecting to gain 1 or 2 pounds......but I actually lost .3

It isn't a whole lot, but at least I lost / maintained through the holiday and I haven't been journaling. Goal for this week will be to Journal, Journal, Journal. I also intend to plan our eating for next week, that always seems to keep me on track and it is easier to grocery shop too.

Total Loss to date this time: 24.4

a good week again.

Went to WW last night just for a quick weigh in and then home before the Trick or Treaters come...I lost another 2.9 pounds, making my total loss 24.1 Not sure how I am doing this, as I am not a good tracker...I guess my cooking healthy is helping, and not having tempting stuff around too.

There is some candy left from last night. We bought some candy that I like, but lower calorie and not chocolate. Even at that, the candy goes out the door to the shop today! I did indulge on about 5 pieces last night...

Another good week

I just got back from a Weight Watcher meeting and to my surprise, I lost another 1.2 pounds, for a new total of 21.2

I recently have pulled out all my WW cookbooks and have been picking out recipes to try out each night of the week. So far, we have had this great Asian Chicken Salad over Jasmine Rice, Meatloaf with Broccoli, and a Chicken Casserole...also did a few others before my last trip to see Mom and Dad, and I can say all have been great.....I didn't know cooking could really be that easy. I have figured out it is really all in the planning. If I sit down before we go grocery shopping and get a list going, then I will have all the ingredients for when I want to cook a WW appropriate meal. And, the flavors are so good, you really would never know it was WW. I do think that Todd is loving this new inspired me...he gets dinner made about 5 or 6 nights a week for him..a big change from him cooking almost nightly! I have just never been inspired before.....

Today, I went to my old job and they threw me a going away party/birthday party for October people. I did have a piece of cake, but about half way through eating it, I just didn't really want it anymore, so I didn't eat the whole thing. I had forgotten how good it feels to make good choices. I was able to have some, but not over-indulge! And, I still was able to have a little bit of everything there, since everyone made pretty healthy stuff, salad, beans, couscous, rice, eggs, etc...

I hit my 20 pound mark!!!

I was so reluctant to go to WW last night. I was sure that I had gained weight. Having spent a week at Mom & Dad's (not counting points at all)...having no control and eating a few cookies...I was sure for a gain, but I somehow managed to loose another 1.5 pounds, making my total loss to exactly 20 pounds.

I may start working again for WW as son as January hits...we will see if they really need me or not. I am pretty content on just going to the meeting and being a "student" for the time, but wouldn't mind a little extra cash either. (mind you, it is "little").

I have been going crazy trying out new WW recipes. I have been cooking out of the Meals in Minutes book and the Pure Comfort. Cooking is actually easier than I thought it would be. Todd is the real cook in our house, but since I have been home, and if we are having a "good" day, then I do attempt to get dinner going.

Another Successful weigh in

Well, here we are....October 3rd...my third weigh in since having a "vacation" from WW...and I lost another 1.7 pounds....

My total since March is now 18.5 pounds gone...I am so excited that it is working....I feel so good about it too..this last week I went shopping in my closet and am starting to fit into some clothes I was in pre-pregnancy.

Week 1 - Back on Track

I went to WW last night and had a loss of .9 I will take it. That puts me at 16.8 total loss since March 07. Slow and steady wins the race...I have to remember that on this journey. It took me 2 years to loose the 116 pounds I lost last time. I don't have even 1/2 as much to loose this time...

I did try on some clothes that were smaller this past weekend and they are starting to fit. I have 3 skirts that now fit...a little tight, but they fit. a few more pounds and they will be perfect!

I haven't set any real good goals yet, except I want to loose another ~ 16 pounds to get back to my pre-prego weight and clothes!!!

Getting off the pregnancy Pounds....

Hi all,

Well, Justin is now 7 1/2 months old. I have lost a total of 15.9 pounds since March 07. I am feeling pretty good about it, but now am on a mission to get off this next 20 to take me back to my pre-pregnancy weight....will check in weekly (i hope) on my status...
